I feel like the Grinch after his heart grew three sizes. I’m not moved by roast beast, but I suddenly “get” it. I’m in the Christmas spirit. Probably the biggest spirit I have ever seen. I want white twinkle lights on my ceiling, the smell of balsam & cinnamon in every room, pine needles on the floor (yes, I want a real tree), hot apple cider mulled wine, and Mel singing ‘Some Kind of Winter’. Okay, I would like Christmas here, now. One of my oldest friends confided that she *might* be moving home and that alone was a gift. Christmas in a phone call. Only 35 days early, too!
I showed my husband the Christmas presents I bought yesterday with G. I love, love, love the idea of getting something for everyone in my heart – seriously. My gift to you might be small, tiny even, but know that when you open it I was thinking of you. Still am. Will continue to.
More gifts came in the mail today. I can’t wait to sit on the floor, surrounded by gift paper, ribbons & bows, clever tags and tape. Can’t wait to start wrapping. I bought something for a special space. I bought something for a beautiful face. Well, a few of those actually…
My husband gave me gifts last night: new music on my mp3 player. Gary Jules and BubbleGum and Robinella … I’m not sophisticated enough to do all that transferring by myself. In order to make room for this new stuff I gave up songs like ‘Boris the Spider’ and ‘Highway to Hell’. Great songs to run to, not so good for cooking. I kept ‘Miss You’ because I miss him. I kept KT because it reminds me of a girl. Songs are like gifts, they bring me to you. One way or another. So, I need James Blunt so I can miss my sister. I want your favorite song so I can think of you, too.
I have one Christmas dilemma…I need to research a gift for my nephew. He needs books on tape. Nothing visual, just audio. He’s this side of three so he needs something sturdy – something he can knock around, something that can occupy him while little brother is sleeping/nursing… Truthfully, I wanted to get him something drum-like. Something to bang, but I don’t think that will go over too well with his mom! Any suggestions on the audio book thing?

Those who have kids should accept that a child needs to bang a drum every once in a while … hee hee! Things that whistle or make a ringing noise are also childhood “must have” items. I give children gifts that their parents nightmares are made of – hee hee! Unfortunately, I have no clue on audio books for kids.
I think I’m still going to find a drum for AT. You are right, kids need those nightmarish things! hahaha
i know dr. seuss is on audio…with different celebrities reading it. i have a love for the series of books jamie lee curtis has done for young kids and that is also on audio.
